Do you ever have days where you just hate being a parent?

Don't judge me on this but today has been hell. I've had constant crying, refusing naps and constant irritability all day. I had to eat my dinner cold, drink all my hot drinks cold and haven't been able to go to the loo all day. Today I'm seriously thinking that thinking I could do this was a stupid idea. I love m...

Experiences and thoughts on co-sleeping

Hello, I have an 11 day old baby boy who is not settling in his crib over night. We have tried every recommendation from midwives and family to help him but he just wants to be on/near us at all times. We have a next to me crib but he won’t even settle in that when layed down. We have tried white noise, every type o...

Naps!

I’m a nurse and I work night shifts. It’s honestly the best thing I could’ve done work night shift so I don’t struggle with child care and I get to be with my baby more during the day. The thing is now my baby has gotten used to sleeping w my mom and she doesn’t want to sleep with me anymore. When I try, she throws ...

Huckleberry App

Sounds completely strange but does anyone feel a bit pressured when it comes to daytime naps? I’ve had the app for about a week and not once have I been able to get my little one to sleep during their recommended “sweet spots”. We’ve hit a regression and the only time she’ll sleep in the day is during our walk with...

Do I need to change nappy sizes?

My baby is one month old today 😭 she currently wears pampers premium protection in size 1 - but every time I change her nappy it seems to be leaving the nappy lines around her thigh, sometimes looks a bit red too. I don’t think she has surpassed the weight on the size 1 nappies - but what should I do? Is it worth…

Bottle feeding back to breast feeding

I had a break from breastfeeding my baby after suffering from painful cracked/bleeding nipples which ended up scabbing over. I’ve got myself into a routine of pumping now however I’d like to try and get him back on the breast. Has anyone done this successfully?
